I am confused to illustrate my experience: Mixed reaction

My experience was very mixed and confusing. I saw both the bright and dark faces of the university in terms of its performances and treatment of students. The university is very new and has a sophisticated architectural structure that can attract anyone. But the internal aspects are so vulnerable. Politics and political influences in all recruitments in the university, student politics, and mispractice of power are the dark parts of this university. On the other hand, there are some teachers who are very different and exceptionally concerned about students' careers and future goals. They try to help students find out their destination. Their classes are also incomparable in comparison to the politically recruited teachers. The residential services are satisfactory though it is controlled by the political leaders among the students and that's why general students do not get the seat that they deserve.

Educational institute with a golden history.

Islamia college has its roots in the early Pakistan when this country needed a great educational institute. Islamia college provided its best services in the time of great need and enlightened the population of Pakistan. What I like about this university is the highly qualified faculty, great scenic landscaping and the architecture of the building. The cafeteria is very hygienic. Hostel and accomodation facilities are at its best. Islamia college is doing very good in its sports area and keeps training and coaching the sportsmen. What I did not like is the not very well supervised students politics. It can a lot better in that area. Additionally the classroom environment is not very ideal, other than that the institute is doing great and keeping its grace for decades.
